We are pleased with the DEA reaffirming that botanical marijuana is a dangerous drug with a high propensity for abuse. Carla Lowe, Northern California Chair of CALM declares, "The negative impacts of the use of the drug in Colorado, Washington and other states where marijuana use has become more prevalent serve as a terrible warning that marijuana is a hazard to public health and safety." 

Scott Chipman Southern California Chair of CALM urges, "With the mounting evidence of the danger of marijuana we urge voters to take the safe course and reject marijuana legalization and the institutionalizing of a "big marijuana" industry in their states."
